Senator Joel Anderson Named California Legislator of the Year 2013

The Sportsmen’s & Animal Owners’ Voting Alliance, a nationwide nonpartisan organization of animal owners and sportsmen, today named Senator Joel Anderson “Legislator of the Year 2013." Anderson represents California’s 36th District, serves as Vice-Chair of the Committees on Public Safety, Judiciary, Health, and Elections and Constitutional Amendments; and as a member of the Committee on Budget & Fiscal Review and the Budget Subcommittee on Corrections, Public Safety & Judiciary.

Susan Wolf, President of SAOVA, revealed that what sets Anderson apart is his seven year track record of working across the aisle in the legislature to support California’s hunting and fishing heritage and the rights of animal owners.

Senator Anderson thanked SAOVA for recognizing him as Legislator of the Year. “It is truly an honor to be named as the Sportsmen’s & Animal Owners’ Voting Alliance Legislator of the Year for 2013. The volunteers at SAOVA commit their time and treasury to advocate on behalf of their members and influence important policy in California and across the nation. It’s gratifying to be on the SAOVA team and to work alongside them to protect the rights of sportsmen and animal owners.”
